The project consists on reviving Joaquin Orellana (a worldwide famous guatemalan artist who unfortunately not known in his own country), he agreed on licencing his pieces with us, we contacted dancers (Arteproyecto) and a rising DJ (Mariano Santolino) so that they derive something out of Joaquin Orellana’s work. We plan to tape all the process to exemplify how easy it would be to eliminate the intermediaries (us by contacting them) just by licencing their works, this will be presented in a shopping mall and other public places we have not concreted yet. So we have all the contacts and the process will start next year. | The project consists on reviving Joaquin Orellana (a worldwide famous guatemalan artist who unfortunately not known in his own country), he agreed on licencing his pieces with us, we contacted dancers (Arteproyecto) and a rising DJ (Mariano Santolino) so that they derive something out of Joaquin Orellana’s work.

Participation on FILGUA 2010. Guatemala's biggest book fair and one of the most important book fairs in Central America was held in Parque La Industria in Guatemala City.
